Title: Is there anywhere I could download an SFML cheat sheet?
Post by: BlueParagon on May 05, 2016, 08:15:30 pm
I was looking for either a cheat sheet or small PDF booklet of a basic break down of all things SFML? Anyone know where there might be one?

I found this, but its in Spanish, and seems to be missing some stuff, or maybe its just, too simplified?
There's an English version link, but its dead.

I was almost thinking of printing out every page in the "LEARN" section... But that's gotta be about 30 pages or more?

I have never come across such a cheat sheet, as such I kind of doubt that there exists one that has been shared.
The one you linked to is also for PySFML and not the official C++ SFML.

SFML's API is relatively big, as such it's nearly impossible to break things down easily and put it on a few pages, as such it would be interesting to know what exactly you're expecting from such a cheatsheet.

Personally I find it much more useful to have the complete SFML API documentation (http://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/2.3.2/) open in my browser and if I work offline, I simply get the doc that is included in any SFML package (http://www.sfml-dev.org/download.php) or build it myself.

Ahhh, nice! I never noticed that downloadable documentation for SFML, just the kind of thing I was looking for.

Still, I almost wish there was a PDF version... I have a Kindle and its served me well while learning C++. Just sort of the way I teach myself this stuff.

Maybe I'll eventually buy some of the books available on SFML. Probably the best way to get a hard copy of SFML knowledge.

I have found a few SDL2 PDFs. One is really a basic cheat sheet of every command available in SDL, along with some simple documentation. However its more of a small book in PDF form really.

Something similar to this would be perfect...

This is also typically one of the best uses of a wiki although i have not explored sfml wiki much yet

Doxygen can also generate PDFs, so I quickly built one for you: SFML-2.3.2.pdf (https://my-gate.net/pub/SFML-2.3.2.pdf)
